Finding Hypotenuse in 3D Geometry

Eddie the Magic Monk explains how to use Pythagoras' theorem to find the hypotenuse of a triangle in a 3D rectangular prism. He demonstrates the process by drawing a prism and calculating the hypotenuse using both a long method and a simplified approach. The tutorial covers the application of Pythagoras' theorem in a 3D context, resulting in a final hypotenuse length of approximately 13.19 units.
